Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of the food industry, and more particularly relates to a cold extrusion process of food products for their shaping.
- the simplest technique is the technique of the punch or the mold.
- the major disadvantage of this technique is that it does not make it possible to obtain complex shapes or to use a liquid raw material, moreover it is an important source of waste that is difficult to reuse in view of food standards. more and more rigorous.
- a commonly used technique is the "ball machine”, consisting of two counter-rotating hollow cylinders between which a pre-frozen or non-frozen food paste is poured, which then comes out in the form of "balls", that is pellets. , which can then undergo a freezing step.
- Such a process is used for the manufacture of the products frozen food of the soup type in "blocks", spinach in portions, etc.
- the products thus obtained are not satisfactory because they not only have an unsightly external appearance, requiring the use of opaque packaging, but they also have a shape limited by the geometry of the machine that allows to make only balls, in no case playful shapes for example for children. Finally, it is impossible to accurately determine the amount of food product "balls". Product losses are also important.
- Another technique that can be used is the extrusion of food product, in particular cold extrusion.
- Many food products can be extruded, whether solid or semi-solid, such as pasta for bread, biscuits or appetizers, starches, vegetables, meat, ice cream, chocolate, soft candy, chewing gum ("chewing gum"), fruit paste, caramel, cereals, vegetable proteins, casein, processed cheese, animal feed, etc. this list is by no means exhaustive.
- an industrial extruder consists of a long cylinder comprising at least one extrusion screw inside, at one of its ends a feed hopper and at the other an outlet nozzle.
- the extruder screw is driven by a rotary motor whose rotation speed is controlled by a frequency converter.
- the products are cooled or even frozen upstream of the extrusion step, as described for example in US-4, 795, 650, or the products are directly cooled or frozen in the extruder itself.
- the cooling is carried out from outside the extruder, ie a cooling fluid circulates around the body of the extruder, for example brine, ammonia, brine, liquid nitrogen, carbon dioxide, as described for example in US2003 / 0211192 or US2005 / 0132902; or the cooling is carried out by direct contact by injecting a cooling fluid into the extruded product, as described for example in the documents EP-0250381 or US-2006/0283196.
- a cooling fluid circulates around the body of the extruder, for example brine, ammonia, brine, liquid nitrogen, carbon dioxide, as described for example in US2003 / 0211192 or US2005 / 0132902; or the cooling is carried out by direct contact by injecting a cooling fluid into the extruded product, as described for example in the documents EP-0250381 or US-2006/0283196.
- the present invention proposes an improvement of the cold extrusion process, also called cryoextrusion.
- the Applicant surprisingly and unexpectedly, was able to highlight during his research that when measuring an increase in the electrical intensity consumed by the engine of the extruder, due to the uncontrolled increase in the viscosity of the extruded food product, instead of stopping the motor or decreasing the rotational speed of the extruder screw, it is surprisingly advantageous to increase the rotational speed of the extruder screw, that is, to increase the intensity consumed by the engine.
- the present invention therefore relates to a process for shaping at least one food product by cryoextrusion using an extruder comprising at least one extrusion screw driven by a motor and a nozzle at the outlet of said at least one extrusion screw, characterized in that it comprises measuring in different times t ⁇ and t 1+ i the intensity I consumed by the engine, and increasing the speed of rotation of said at least an extrusion screw if the difference in intensity ⁇ I between t ⁇ and t i + i is positive.
- the control is not only by measuring the temperature, but also by monitoring the intensity consumed by the motor over time or by measuring the mechanical force that exerts itself on the screw (s).
- This mechanical effort expressed in torque added to the information on the speed of rotation of the screw or screws is related to the current absorbed by the electric motor. It is therefore possible to implement said regulation from the measurement of the mechanical force and the rotational speed instead of measuring the intensity of the current.
- intensity consumed by the engine but it was understood from the above that we can also implement the present invention from a mechanical stress information which is exerted on the screw or screws in combination with information on the speed of rotation of the screw or screws.
- the intensity I consumed by the motor is measured regularly, at a time interval t 1+ i - t ⁇ from 10 ⁇ 4 seconds to a few seconds, preferably from 5.10 ⁇ 4 to 1 second, more preferably still a few milliseconds, using an ammeter connected to the motor, and this throughout the cryoextrusion process.
- difference of .DELTA.I intensity between ti and ti + i refers to the difference of intensity Iti + i-IIT by I t i is the degree of the intensity consumed by the motor at a time t ⁇ .
- I tl + i is meant the measurement of the intensity consumed by the engine at a time t 1+ i, t 1+ i corresponding to a time subsequent to t ⁇ .
- the ⁇ I is measured in real time, and the slight increases / decreases in intensity corresponding to the normal operation of the extruder compensate for giving a globally zero ⁇ I over time. If the increase is abrupt and continuous over 2 or 3 consecutive measurements, or if ⁇ I is positive on a measurement during measurements spaced out in time, then the speed of the screw is increased.
- the intensity consumed is a value specific to each motor and the operator will be able to determine the time interval with which he wishes to make the intensity measurements, as well as the intensity variation to be considered as a sign of a dysfunction .
- the change of intensity is advantageously indicated by any alert system, and control of preferably increasing the rotational speed of the extrusion screw or screws.
- the frequency of the frequency generator (drive) associated with the motor for a given time, preferably for 5 to 10 seconds.
- the increase of the frequency is done automatically as soon as the difference ⁇ I of intensity is positive and higher than a predetermined setpoint value.
- cryoextrusion means an extrusion process carried out at low temperature, preferably around the freezing point of the food product, more preferably just below the freezing point starting from the food product, more preferably still between 0.1 0 C and 1 ° C or 2 ° C below the freezing point of the food product. It is obvious that the temperature used for the implementation of the cryoextrusion process according to the invention depends on the composition of the product to be extruded. Indeed, it is well known to those skilled in the art that the starting freezing temperature of a food product varies according to its composition, in particular according to its composition of water and lipids.
- a food product is for example rich in butter , whose melting temperature is close to 30 0 C, a temperature between 0 0 C and 30 0 C, varying according to the percentage of water and other constituents, will be sufficient for its shaping.
- the term "shaping" the action of conferring a specific shape on a food product.
- the cryoextrusion process according to the invention by bringing the extruded food product to a temperature slightly lower than its starting freezing point, makes it possible to give the product a texture that is both flexible enough to effect shaping, and sufficiently strong so that the shaping is kept at the output of the extruder.
- This shaping is carried out using the nozzle of the extruder, having a predetermined shape and being placed directly at the outlet of the extrusion screw.
- the most used nozzle shapes are the star, the square, the circle, the triangle, the numbers, the letters and other characters, but the person skilled in the art is able to imagine any other form likely to satisfy the demand of the end customer.
- the extruder is refrigerated using a means for circulating a refrigerant around the extruder.
- the refrigerant may be selected from fluids known to those skilled in the art, such as in particular liquid nitrogen, carbon dioxide, brine, ammonia, glycol water.
- the means for circulating a refrigerant fluid consists of a double envelope surrounding said at least one extrusion screw and in which circulates said refrigerant fluid.
- double jacket means the combination of a first inner envelope enveloping the extrusion screw or screws, one face of which is in direct contact with the food product, with a second outer envelope concentric with the first one. so that a space is created between the first and second envelope.
- the space between the two envelopes allows the circulation of a refrigerant.
- the refrigerant is not in direct contact with the food product, but in indirect contact via the inner casing.
- the jacket comprises an inlet orifice, through which the cooling fluid is introduced, and an outlet orifice through which the cooling fluid is discharged.
- the cooling fluid is recycled, either by reinjection into the double jacket, or not direct injection on the food product into the feed hopper of the extruder.
- the double envelope in the sense of the invention may also consist of several independent modules interconnected by pipes of the pipe type, allowing the passage of refrigerant from one module to another.
- the extrusion screw or screws are placed in the cylinder formed by the combination of the modules of the double envelope.
- Such an embodiment has the advantage of being able to quickly adapt the size of the extruder depending on the food product or the quantity of food product to be extruded.
- the surface of said inner double jacket in contact with the food product is maintained at a temperature of less than or equal to about -90 ° C. In fact, the Applicant, during his research, was able to determine that the maintenance a temperature below about -90 ° C.
- said coolant is liquid nitrogen which makes it easy to maintain the surface of the jacket in contact with the food product at a temperature of less than or equal to -90 ° C.
- the temperature of said food product is measured at the outlet of the extrusion screw using a thermometer.
- This temperature of the food product is preferably less than about 0.1 ° C. to about 1 ° C. at its initial freezing point.
- the temperature of said food product can be further measured in at least two other points of said at least one extrusion screw.
- the skilled person is able to increase or decrease the flow rate of cooling fluid injected into the jacket. If the temperature of the food product at the screw outlet is too high, that is to say if the food product is too soft to effect shaping, the injected cooling fluid flow rate is increased, so that the temperature the food product is lowered until a texture is strong enough for shaping.
- the extruder comprises two extrusion screws.
- the extruder comprises two counter-rotating extrusion screws.
- the extrusion screw (s) have a particular geometry, alternating portions of the "Archimedean” type, allowing the food product to advance towards the exit of the extruder, and portions of the "kneading" type, allowing mixing. of the food product so that a good homogenization of the product is obtained inside the extruder.

- the portion of the kneading screw has a screw pitch inverted with respect to the portion of the Archimedes type.
- FIG. 1 A nonlimiting and merely illustrative diagram of a kneading portion is given in FIG. 1: the kneading portion
- each thread (3) of this kneading portion (1) which is preferably attached to the end of each screw and not inverted, comprises indentations (2) through which the food product must pass.
- Each thread (3) of this kneading portion (1) advantageously of constant pitch, has notches (2) distributed helically, said notches (2) thus form between them at least one helix (4) whose not is inverted with respect to that of the thread (3) of the kneading portion (1).
- the kneading portion referred to above is generally reported and fixed by any known means at the end of an extrusion screw, but it may possibly be part of the screw itself.
- the screws used may optionally comprise a compression zone, that is to say for example a zone for progressively reducing the pitch of the screw or increasing the diameter of the shaft of the screw (for example a diameter the shaft of the screw growing at constant screw pitch).
- a compression zone that is to say for example a zone for progressively reducing the pitch of the screw or increasing the diameter of the shaft of the screw (for example a diameter the shaft of the screw growing at constant screw pitch).
- the method further comprises a step of cutting the extrudate using a cutting means placed directly at the outlet of the nozzle.
- a cutting means placed directly at the outlet of the nozzle.
- the operator can, by varying the rate of cutting and / or the extrusion rate, prepare doses of calibrated food products. If you increase the rate of cutting the doses will be smaller, and if you reduce the rate of cutting the doses will be larger.
- a cutting means within the meaning of the invention may be in particular a cutting wire, a blade, a chopper, scissors, a bevel, or any other means capable of achieving a clean and fast cut of the food product formed.
- a preferred cutting means is a rotary knife whose blade touches the exit nozzle of the extruder.

Coextrusion is of particular interest in the coating of food products or in the manufacture of food products resulting from the combination of several food products, for example different layers so as to have unit doses aesthetically attractive.
- the invention also provides for the recording of the adjustment parameters relating to the extrusion.
- each food product requires special settings of the extruder ("recipes"), and these data can be recorded so that it is sufficient for the operator to indicate to the computer which product he wishes to extrude for the extruder is automatically adjusted accordingly.
- Two types of parameters can be recorded in particular:
- the parameters specific to the food product to be extruded namely, for example, the initial freezing temperature of the product, its variation of enthalpy as a function of temperature, which are in particular dependent on the water content of the product, the content of materials fat, these parameters to calculate the forming temperature of the product, and consequently the amount of liquid nitrogen to provide the system, and
- the parameters specific to the extruder namely the number and type of screws, the number and type of jacketed modules, the rotation speed of the screw, the blocking intensity of the motor.
